Guest Blog: Reconstructing Life

Written by guest blogger Kelly Farley Dads (and moms) tell me all the time they feel like they died when their child died. In a way they did.  Anyone who has lost a child or has gone through any profound life event will tell you that it’s not possible to go back to the person you used to be. Of course, many people keep trying to…

Life interrupted

When I sat down to write this blog, I pressed play on my itunes and chose "Walk" from Foo Fighters for inspiration. I needed life's beat to be swimming inside my veins when I was to write about life being interrupted. I had to feel completely alive so I could truly send you a wave of energy, a jolt in your soul.   Sitting on…

The ego of loss!

It took me a decade to discover a very simple truth that literally set me free. Happiness is a choice not an 'event based' experience.

Guest Blog: Does Everything Happen for a Reason?

By Jess Pedersen, HHC (www.bemamabewell.com) As I reflect back on my forty-plus years, I’ve experienced numerous losses that I would consider intense and life-altering, including the loss of my grandmother when I was five, my grandfather at 16, and my father at 25. As a young child and teenager, I took the passing of grandparents very personally. I would often compare myself to my peers,…
